very nice. I find it impactful. It should be showcased for National Day. Your composition is artistic and very much for me to learn from. B&W is indeed something not easy, especially to get good tones and contrast. imho, you did very well.

Great pics there!! what temptations!! Where can I get lomo cams?

The Contax Carl Zeiss 35mm F2.8 is also an SLR lens? I think maybe I'll stick to this one that I have first and understand it better before I make a purchase. Thanks for your suggestion!

Thank you very much for your explanation! In a way, that's what I wanted to learn about. Theres way too much information on the internet that may be repeated and of not much use sometimes. In this age of internet and stuff, its not always easy to just google and read.. Magazines aren't of much...

edutilos, like what you said, its the lack of thought behind. precisely the reason i dont want to just take photos, but i want to take photos with a purpose. hence starting this thread. i'm also not asking for a template. however, like i have a 100mm macro, i have learnt that its probably...

edutilos, i just wanted to make sure that i'm not misusing the lens as i'm still trying out the various lens that i have. if i were to give a 2B pencil to a kid to use, he'll probably use it to draw on the wall or even put it in his mouth or break it into pieces thinking that that's how it...

HI, I'm using a canon 500D and my work requires me to take shots of jewellery. However, the shots are always not so ideal as the gemstones on the jewellery doesn't appear to be clear. I use a 100mm macro with the 500D. Tried many different settings with f8-11 mainly and slow shutter...

Thank you so much! I tried closing the aperture with bright flash.. Started with f/22. Havent tried with the usual f/8-f/11 yet..

I just found my EOS CDs... Trying them out now. Will probably download Lightroom trial version too. Would the two complement each other other will they crash?
